Nichelle Nichols has passed away. 

Martin Luther King once convinced her to continue on as Uhura when she was about to quit. He told her how she was a role model for so many people and had to stay on. He rightfully recognized her as a trailblazer and the inspiration she continued to be. 

(Second picture is Nichols participating in a recruitment program for NASA in late 70s/early 80′s, aimed at women and people of color. The third picture is Nichols onboard the stratospheric observatory for infrafred astronomy in 2017, as one of the first non essential personell to be able to do so)

regulus and james are a summer love. they're stargazing in the warm air of summer and adolescent love. they're picking flowers and kisses pressed to foreheads, temples, cheeks, and necks, and whether it is too much or too little, they always end up yearning for more.

it's always been summer because james is the sun. james, loud and warm and full of love for everything the world has for them, so proud of himself and the world for giving and receiving his adoration for it.

and regulus is the moon and the evening and the sticky air of summer, running away, the grass tickling your feet, but not too far away. not too far away when you have a legacy, chained to your feet, not allowing you to escape. the family will always be more important than childhood love.

they're summer love. they're a cold and a warm body cooling off and heating up each other, bringing out the perfection of the other, bringing out the best and the worst, a collision of so many factors, a maelstrom of feelings and emotions that never are just the right amount.

it's too little, and they want more, and more, and more love, in their blood flow and filling up their bodies, pooling in their bellies, and then it's too much and they push each other away because they feel it and, deep down, they know that it'll never be so right, but it feels so good.

but summer always ends, autumn takes over, and, no matter how hard you want, how much you wish, no two summers are the same.

Vulcan: Why…are you…shaking hands…with that being?

✨ Tfw your brother finally comes home from Murder Island and you need to check on him every 30 minutes to make sure he hasn’t left ✨

the Federation itself as a concept is so funny because the founding members are

the Vulcans, who have been friends with humanity for years but don't seem to actually like them all that much, instead regarding them with a sort of perverse fascination usually reserved for virology labs

the Andorians, who were fighting the Vulcans for like a hundred years

the Tellarites, who don't like any of these people and whose cultural trait is arguing, and

humans, whom nobody knew existed until last century when they shot themselves into space on a heavily modified nuke, invented world peace and won a fight with the nearest imperial superpower

like imagine you're the Romulan Empire and these weird monkeys who've barely figured out interstellar travel show up on your doorstep in the equivalent of a shipping container with missiles strapped to it, kick your ass in front of everybody, and then start a friendship club with 3 of your neighbours who all hated each others' guts until like a year ago. now I understand why every Romulan on the show is so angry
